19's 06 coupe OEM Rays Wheels Heavy?
Hey every i have an 03 G sedan that comes with OEM 17's wheels. I recently acquired the 19's 06 coupe OEM Rays wheels and i got them on the car today. After i got them on my car i felt a significant change in my car. It felt heavier and I wasn't accelerating as fast nor can the car maintain the speed after letting the gas go (drastically decrease). Im assuming cause of their weight; if anyone know how much they weigh that would be helpful. What I want to know is do you guys have any suggestions on other wheels that are 19's and weigh less than the ones I have now. I seem to cant find the weight of these wheels so I can do a comparison. Thanks in advance

they are forged rays and lighter than your 17's that were on the car previously....that I know for certain. Possibly 18F 19lbs R i believe...what your feeling are probably heavy tires. I have nitrogen in mine to save weight and help out gas mileage

when i bought these wheels they came with used Kumho Ecsta SPT (225/40/19 & 245/40/19 ) haha i never heard of them. These tires however are noisy too when I'm going over 50km/h or 31mph. I was pretty excited to them these forged ray and after getting them on im pretty disappointed. I don't know much about tires to be honest so what would you recommend for tires that is more bang for your buck.

I assumed that they will be heavier than my 17s but I didn't think it would be such a significant, it kinda take the joy out of driving my car.

I myself was thinking the same and was disappointed to feel the weight difference. You could really tell when accelerating and when braking. But the looks I guess is the plus. I am considering going back to the stock 18's but use wider spacers.
